If you make it there, maybe we can grab a coffee at Newbury, BJ. Good luck if I don't see you. And, ofc, good luck if I do! The closing bumper tomorrow has some nice types.

Closing line from yesterday... "That's all for today, might be one in France later but looks dodgy/highly speculative". I was expecting near 100 for it, but the highest available was around the 48 mark. Left it alone, but ran 2nd in a fairly big field. The winner won easily, but gratifying...

Had to take today one by one... Tevere 11.52 Chantilly Had a look at this one's last race and she ran a good one FTO to be 3rd. Couldn't understand why she was near 20 for this. Small win bet, but went much harder first three at 4.1. Perfectly positioned and going easily throughout, taken...

Happy Birthday, Wanderer. 21!! Hope you have a great day :)

Been travelling a bit and now firmly ensconced in deepest Feltham. For anyone who doesn't know it, think of the shittest area near you, multiply by two. You get the idea. I actually finished phase one of the SEO project for the Las Vegas client on Tuesday night and delivered it on a 6am video...

Godwinson. Moved from Haggas to Jack Channon. Not beyond a possibility that he can work another piece of Johan magic.

Faivoir won't be a surprise if he goes first 5, the Ascot race mid Jan he didn't stay, the one before that may have not been soft enough. But can we really see an 11 year old winning a race this valuable? The Skelton yard will surely already know whether Faivoir can get anywhere close to Let...

I think we should let it keep going till the across tracks 5 timer lands...then we can discuss further on a yacht in the Bahamas.

Yeah just out this morning. That will be a bitter disappointment. And maybe that's the real reason he wasn;t left in for this Saturday.

When something is heavily drifting on the Exchange, they put a snowflake-looking thing next to it (or a flame when something is heavily shortening)

I think stuff like this does have its use cases, Lucky. Perhaps more for underlining or increasing confidence in a selection, or maybe more pointedly, helping with a reduction in confidence. For anyone following the races regularly, you/they probably already know who's in form, who's cold etc...

Thanks Dan, great stuff. Yeah, my wording was flawed (or left open to misinterpretation, let's say). What I should have said is 'prepared like a preparedy preparedy thing'. That means since the Warwick bumper in 2023, and (I don't know how long Skelton has actually had her), maybe for a year...

Let It Rain has all the hallmarks of being plotted for this like a plotty plotty thing. I fear everything else will be looking at her arse through binoculars after the last.

He's out at Newcastle again tomorrow, but everyone knows now and 4-1 is the current quote. May well win it, but I'll be looking for something bigger to take him on. There might not be anything, and if he drifts a bit it might make the bet. I have no clue why he was that big the other day, think...

Yeah, that had the 'dreaded' ice symbol on BF leading up to the race. Doesn't always mean they're down the pan, but still disconcerting at best.

It was 18.5 when Dave first posted, no-brainer with that write-up and in the context of that race.

Well done indeed with Word Of Mouth. Wouldn't have found it myself and went in pretty heavy at 18.5 earlier :)

Yes, there is a message to visitors saying there is something up with it, but you have the choice to click through anyway and it lets you in. Support on any of these (social) platforms is shite, they're too big to care about individuals.

I see you've been posting on X, Dave. There's a blog section here where you can create your own, if you so desire. You won't get any trolls here. Your 'AW ones to follow' list would be well-received, I think. For interest...I strongly fancied Pallas Lord (as I think you did), but thought Dream...

Potential bets today at Carlisle, Taunton, Fairyhouse, Wolves. All noted on first scans late last night. In the main, actual bets (if any) depend on prices nearer the off and a deeper analysis of other runners. Note: 'deeper analysis' in Chaumi World means 2-3 mins, maybe 4! Several of these...
